New Crawford column - Not broken

EC put out a very good column this morning basically calling Kenny Payne on his BS. While he calls out some of the dysfunction of leadership within the university, he does a good job to lay a lot of the last 2 years at KPs feet.

"The program wasn't broken. It was just the victim of poor management. The car was running. It just needed somebody to hit the gas, somebody who knew how to handle the horsepower."

"Kelsey would not talk about what happened to create the program he inherited. He just moved into the Marriott downtown and went to work. And pretty soon, he didn't like the trip from downtown to his campus office so, with his family having not yet moved from Charleston, he just slept in the office. He got after it. No two weeks in New York. No taking his time." <- These last lines are a banger.

I had to ask EC on X if he and Bozich were still on speaking terms after putting this one out there.

Rather have Ohio State

I think we are forgetting or disregarding one aspect about the playoff system this year and hopefully it changes. I would like to see how the bracket would have looked if teams were reseeded 1-12. Oregon would still be #1 and Clemson #12 but Arizona St and Boise St would probably not have earned first round byes. Also not sure if they would have done it but I think having Georgia as #2 without Carson Beck should have been considered. ND and OSU were #3 and #6 in the final AP poll but #7 and #8 in the playoff scenario.

Interesting stats

During last night’s game the announcers said we had either 4 or 5 players who have scored over 1,000 points in their careers and I think 11 who have played in the NCAA tournament. Even though only a few have played together for more than a year or two, this has to be the most experienced team top to bottom U of L has ever had. They probably are not going to reach the Final Four this year, but I sure as hell wouldn’t want to face them in the tourney. Plus they are just fun to watch which is something I haven’t been able to say for the last several years.
